We have this thing in our house where we don’t like bananas. I love them, but my brother, sister, and mother do not. However, that doesn’t stop us from always having them around, and I love cooking with bananas and trying to see if I can make my family eat my banana creations.
This paleo banana cream pie recipe is definitely a hit even from banana-haters. The bananas are blended right into the creamy pudding filling, and the dessert is rounded out with a nice gingerbread crust. The addition of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice really takes it up a notch and hints at the coming holiday season in this paleo banana cream pie recipe.
I also love that this paleo banana cream pie is really easy to make and requires no baking; so no fussing over pie crusts that always shrink and fall; not that I would know anything about that.

would dates work instead of raisins for the crust?
Yes, I think that would work.
oh wow, this looks incredible! My dad loves banana cream pie and he would absolutely flip over this paleo version!
So how is exactly is gelatin paleo? Because as far as I know, the inkas and mayas did not know whast gelatin ist…
No they definitely did not make jello but they did eat animals and used every part; so they would have eaten a lot of collagen.
